The Attorney-General ought not to press the proposal that the Province shouid pay the salaxies of these judicial offitsers. Atty. Gen. MACDONALD contended tut the arguments tspplicab?.e in the case of Mr. Dalton did not apply to the case now. under discussion. Mr.' Taylor was appointed in 1866, at a salary of $2,000, and it was now only proposed to place him on the same foot. ing, The J udges of the Wart of Equity waisted on the right of this appointment, "ul the Bill was necessary in order to ro. move éouhts; ll '.
